Ash Pollard has always been delightfully hilarious, down-to-earth and outspoken, and since welcoming her two daughters, she’s become more relatable than ever.
The reality TV and radio personality became a mum in September 2020 when she welcomed her firstborn, Clementine, with partner Peter Fern.
Within days of her birth, Ash started to share the most adorable snaps of her bub while offering raw insights into her life as a first-time mum.
Then in 2021, she hilariously announced she was pregnant by posing in a glamorous black bodycon dress, slippers and bold red lipstick, with her pram in the background as she talks on the phone while holding a bottle in her other hand.
She captioned the Instagram post, “On the burner, making serious arrangements for baby #2!”

“Hospital room must be north-facing, daily coffee order placed and confirming evening turn-down service. Lol!”
“Pete and I, although shocked initially, are terribly grateful and positively excited for another little ankle biter,” Ash added.
On Christmas Day 2021, Ash, Peter, and Clementine received the best gift of all: Claudette Polly Ferne.
The former reality star announced the exciting news on her Instagram with the most touching picture of her newborn.
Ash captioned her sweet post with a lovely message dedicated to her family’s significant milestone.
“Merry Christmas everyone!” she penned.
“We did it. Another little girl! Claudette Polly Ferne.”
Now that she’s juggling two baby girls, the My Kitchen Rules fan fave has shared even more hilarious insights into her life, and it’s all a little bit fun, something a little too real but always on the money.
Feel understood by enjoying the most honest truths Ash has ever shared about motherhood in the gallery below.

Ash learnt a hard lesson when she came home after a night out while her daughter was down with the flu.
She posted a picture on her Instagram stories of her bed hair, in a robe, trying to feed her little one.
The former reality star wrote, “Note to self: don’t go out and have a life until you know for certain your kid is going to sleep through the night.
“Rhinovirus and Influenza A not helping my poor Claudette, who can’t catch a break from sickness. This winter is an absolute shit show for bugs and so forth,” she shared.

Ash’s beauty routine has become less about ‘me-time’ and more about balancing mum life and self-care. The reality star makes a good case for bringing your baby along to the hairdressers and beauticians because why not? You deserve it!

A few months after giving birth to her first daughter Ash shared a gushy post about how magical it is watching your newborn during their first moments on earth with this picture from the day they met.
“It was around about this time a couple of months ago we welcomed our little poppet, Clementine Abigail, into this world. For days I couldn’t believe she was ours, in fact I still can’t!! She’s growing quickly and has quite the personality already. I’m drinking her in and will share more pics soon. 💞.”

Clementine looked adorable in her little bow that matched her hair. Ash was so proud of their hard work (after all, hair requires patience to grow) that she captioned the pic, “I [we] made this. Took me [us] 9 months. Masterpiece. 🍊.”

Ash is a hands-on parent and loves to take her girls on new adventures, but always within arm’s length and with a smile.

If this isn’t every parent at the airport ever! “I can’t imagine what travelling with multiple children would be like! Pete tried to convince me to share my suitcase with Clementine at one point… pft! Us gals have outfits sweetie! 💁🏼♀️,” shared the former reality star to her very understanding fan base.

When Ash had to take Claudette to the hospital to get fluids for her fever, she documented the ordeal on her Instagram to bring to light how busy the Children’s hospital was and that she felt sorry for the other parents there struggling like her navigate the overrun ward.
But when she updated her fans about her daughter’s condition (which had significantly improved), she made a confession. Ash gave her daughter a dummy to help her calm down, something she never did with her eldest.
“But you know what has happened over the last 48 hours, I have introduced a dummy cause she was so unsettled.”
“What have I done? Clementine never had a dummy,” she ruminated.
So, parents, you aren’t the only ones to give in to the power of the dummy.
Watch Ash reveal her dummy move in the video below.

Between balancing a newborn and a baby, Ash tried to find some time for injectables to feel and look refreshed, but Claudette had other plans and threw up on her, but what mum hasn’t been there in one way or another?
“Thinking I could treat myself to some Botox and Mum simultaneously. Quick reality check from Claudette, as she projectile vomits all over me mid treatment! How good! Special thanks to nurse injector (and photographer) Nuala for capturing the moment. 🍾,” she hilariously wrote.

Ash captioned this picture ” Zonked. 😴” and it’s clear she really needed that foot massage and rest.

Alongside this picture of Ash looking fabulous with her newborn, she offered a relatable caption commenting on how hard it is to get ready with a baby.
She wrote, “And just like that, I found 15 minutes to get out of my ‘this goes with that’, wash and dry my hair AND whack on a bit of fake tan. No shit, this gig is hard. ☠️💞.”
